"Trina Nestibo takes the inspiration for her songs from the wide open spaces and tight-knit communities she grew up with in rural Manitoba; she delivers them with a high degree of polish and musical sophistication -- and a warm, magnetic presence on stage." Katherine, Duncan, Host, Producer, CBC Radio Music
............................
With gusto, Trina Nestibo is emerging on the Canadian folk-roots scene as a respected artist delivering a fresh new sound that’s attracting listeners far and wide. Trina’s spirited music infuses flavours of rock, soul, country and blues creating a sound that is truly her own. She writes meaningful songs about real life and real experiences, drawing on her prairie roots, love for simple pleasures and flat-out appreciation for life. Gritty. Ethereal. Soulful. Trina’s signature voice is truly an instrument unto itself. At home on the stage, this no-nonsense woman captures listeners instantly with her heartfelt honesty and story-telling, and contagious energy. Trina accompanies herself skillfully on acoustic guitar, squeezebox and piano, with her bare feet stomping every step of the way.
“Sings her truth with the poise and graceful confidence of a seasoned songbird.”
David Ward, CKUA, Afternoon Edition ................................................
Hardly a newcomer to the music scene, Trina Nestibo has been crooning soulful tunes since childhood. With twenty years of classical piano training, post-secondary studies in voice, an appearance at Carnegie Hall with the Brandon University Chamber Ensemble, a Bachelor's Degree in Music Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology under her belt - it's clear that Trina is dedicated to her musical career... ...
In March 2009, Trina performed at the Engineered Air Theatre in Calgary’s Epcor Centre as part of the prestigious annual Alberta Music Series, which was played nation-wide across CBC Radio and broadcast throughout Alberta on CBC Television. Throughout her career, she has also appeared on stages at venues and events such as: The Neil Young Tribute Show, Lilac Festival, Mountain View Music Festival, Edge of the World Festival, Atlin Summer Music Festival, South Country Fair, as well as the Rocky Mountain, Full Moon and Northern Lights Folk Clubs in Calgary & Edmonton, AB. She has shared stages with the Wailin’ Jennys, Pied Pumpkin, Steve Pineo, Brock Zeman, Charlie Hase, Tim Leacock, Dan Walsh, Mel Wilson, Kit Johnson, John Hyde and others too numerous to mention. On the side, she freelances musically - playing squeezebox with folkabilly band Bryan Bayley & The Circus (www.bbcircus.ca), leads children's music programs and songwriting workshops.
Trina has been touring extensively throughout Canada’s western provinces since proudly and independently releasing her solo debut album, "Someday: So Far" (October, 2008). Nestibo's album is receiving regional and national recognition and radio play, and her sophomore release is presently in the works... she'll be working with Western Canadian Music Awards Nominee Rob Smith (Engineer of The Year 2009) again at Rocky Mountain Studios in Calgary in early 2010 with plans for an autumn release.
Stay tuned...
